The Empty Stocking book and CD

The Empty Stocking is a brilliantly funny Christmas story by Richard Curtis and Rebecca Cobb.

Brilliant read by the one and only Dawn French. In this fantastically funny and heartwarming story by Richard Curtis, scriptwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually, it's Christmas Eve and there's one very important question on everyone's mind - have YOU been good this year?

For twins Sam and Charlie this is a big worry. Charlie has been especially naughty and everyone is sure that she won't get any presents AT ALL.

But when Santa makes a mistake, it's up to Charlie to put things right...
